Bottoms up!
Fat-wash, clarified milk punch, polibibita – if these words mean anything to you, you’re going to want to make sure you don’t miss the Melbourne Cocktail Festival.
Running from September 18 to 24, the annual event celebrates the art of mixology with a week full of events, workshops and the beloved Bar Safari. It’s still getting drunk, but it’s getting drunk with class.
